Temporary Residence Permit — Entrepreneurship (Разрешение на временное проживание для предпринимателей)

The Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for entrepreneurship is a specialized residency status designed for foreign nationals who are actively involved in business activities within the Republic of Belarus. This permit allows entrepreneurs to reside legally in the country for up to one year, with the possibility of renewal provided the underlying business grounds remain valid. It is intended for individuals who have established a legal entity or are otherwise formally engaged in business operations that contribute to the Belarusian economy. By obtaining this permit, foreign entrepreneurs gain the legal framework necessary to manage their business interests on the ground while enjoying rights and responsibilities similar to those of Belarusian citizens.

To secure this permit, applicants must demonstrate the legitimacy of their business presence and provide proof of a stable place of residence. The application is processed by the local Citizenship and Migration Department at the applicant's intended place of residence. The process requires meticulous preparation of documentation, including proof of financial solvency and valid medical insurance. Once granted, the TRP is typically affixed to the applicant's passport. It is important to note that holders of this permit are required to live at the registered address and must notify the authorities of any changes to their residence or business status within the legally mandated timeframes.
